Also, what's that behind you? Oh, it's just someone drinking a bottle of sparkling water. Oh wait it's a skeleton! [sound of creaking door] — Scream Fortress

Mann Manor is a Halloween-themed map. It was introduced in the October 27, 2010 Halloween Event and features the first Template:W in the game; the Horseless Headless Horsemann. It and Mountain Lab were the winners of TF2Maps.net's Art Pass Contest.

The pumpkin bombs from the 2009 Halloween event make a return, as do the Halloween pumpkins. During the round a gift will appear randomly on the map, and whichever player collects it first will receive a class-based paper mask. The gift appears similar to the Secret Saxton and the Carefully Wrapped Gift.

The Horseless Headless Horsemann will spawn at whichever Capture Point is active, and will chase and attack one player who has been randomly determined to be "It". Players who are "It" can be identified by a skull and crossbones icon which appears above their head. Another player becomes "It" when the former player is killed or when the player who it "It" distances themselves sufficiently from the Horseless Headless Horsemann. The player who is "It" can tag another player with a melee attack in order to make that player become "It".

In the RED spawn, one can actually see Redmond Mann sitting in his chair turned away from the player in an adjacent, inaccessible room. The map also has several paintings, including a similar portrait to the one Blutarch keeps in his room, only with Redmond being good-looking and Blutarch looking like a ragged crook. The other paintings are landscapes of the various properties owned by the Mann family and a hidden portrait of Emily.

Trivia

• Mann Manor and Mountain Lab have the same layout as they are both winners of the Art Pass Contest. Mann Manor is considered the Halloween version of Mountain Lab, similar to how Harvest has an event version.
• There are rubber ducks hidden throughout the map.
  • One Duck is found in RED Spawn, to the right of the doors leading into Redmond's Office.
  • Another Duck is found in the room with the Fireplace underneath one of the Tables hidden behind a Pumpkin Bomb
  • A third Duck can be found on one of the unreachable Bookcases on the top floor of the Manor.
  • Duck 4 is found by the Second Control Point, to the right by one of the posts leading into the Graveyard.
  • Duck 5 can be found in the Hut by B. Under the stairs past the barricade.
  • Duck 6 is located in a Bucket near the Balcony on the left of Mann Manor.
  • A Seventh Duck can be found in the room with the COffins near BLU Spawn. It is on the bottom shelf with the Coffins.
  • An Eighth Duck can be located just before that Room in the Building opposte the First Control Point. It is underneath the stairs in one of the Boxes.
• There is a frog in the room to the right of the fireplace. It can be seen through the small gap between the doors.
• There are ghostly voices throughout the map (male and female) that faintly tell you to "Stop touching stuff" or "Don't touch stuff". "Moustachio", "That's what she said", and "Natascha" are also infrequently whispered.
• When using the noclip cheat or joining spectator to look behind the RED spawn, you can see that only Redmond's arm and the top of his head are present.
  • Also, if noclip is used to move outside of the map, a small clearing with a farm can be found. The clearing has a striking resemblance of the Painting of Granary in the manor itself.
• Despite not appearing on the Practice Mode map list, this map is completely compatible with TF2 Bots.

• This is because the Horseless Headless Horseman, being a modified bot, needs a navigation map for Manor to hunt down players, the same navigation map that the normal bots use. So to have him work, the map comes with the navigation map premade.
• However, bots do not count toward the "total player" count necessary to spawn the Horsemann nor the Haunted Halloween Presents.
• They are not compatible with Mountain Lab, despite the two maps sharing similar layouts.

• In one corner of a hallway, the floor is ripped up. When looking into the darkness below the floor boards, there will be a pair of eyes that will follow you. There are also several similar eyes under Point C.
